Hi, I would like to introduce my most favorite flute case that I found after trying many different types of cases.This case is originally for putting fishing gear, such as lure,sinker and so on,but suitable for putting an Irish flute in it. Keyless / keyed both fits just perfectly.

Nice! My only concern with a case like that is whether it is too air-tight, which could lead to high humidity after playing the flute.

An acquaintance of mine from France spent the winter here in my city (Montreal), where it gets very dry in winter. Paradoxically, the flutes he kept in wooden boxes survived the winter fine, while the ones he had in plastic containers developed cracks. I would have thought it would be the other way around, but maybe it was the change in humidity that caused the cracking, as opposed to the ambient humidity level. The humidity in the plastic containers was probably a lot higher than in his apartment, and perhaps the contrast was too great when he took the flutes out to play them and then put them back in.
